Howdie folks....We're thinking hard about buying a new camper….it's been fun and eye-opening shopping for a new, or new to us, camper. Definitely leaning toward NEW, but if we buy a used one, it will be no older than '05. We want a camper with a dinette-only slide, so no full-wall slides, and no double slides ($$, heavy). All the Arctic Fox, Lance, and many other campers we like are just too dang heavy for our truck. Most of their dry wieghts are 3300 lb and above. The AFs are really gorgeous, but just too heavy for my truck. There are many nice campers out there (please don't feel offended if your camper is not on our list). For us, the short list includes the following:

We DO NOT want an onboard generator, but DO want A/C.
I have a '97 Dodge 2500HD Club Cab SRW 4WD LB gasser (360)...8800 GVW. Suspension, etc. has been beefed up significantly with extra leaf springs, Super Springs, Firestone airbags, dual Bilstein shocks all around, Front Brembo brake upgrade, Rear Sway bar and BFGs with 3400+ lb. capacity each. The kicker is that the truck has a 3" lift, so it's a bit taller than stock. Currently we own '94 Weekender, and it's a heavy beast too, but probably only around 3200 to 3300 lb. real-world wet weight. When I am all loaded up for a 4-day weekend trip with water, propane, supplies, etc., the camper weighs 4,000. The truck does fine, but I don't want to go too much more than this.
Please, no flaming from the weight police.

So please help! What are your real-world weights for those of you who own or have owned the EC 950 or Host Rainier campers? How about you late-model Snow River, Okanagan, Alpenlite, and Lance slider owners? Have your sticker weights ready, I want to compare the wet weight on the back of our campers to fully loaded up weights. Please report the following:
1) Year and model camper
2) Camper-only weight that you have personally verified via scale or other means (not from a sticker on the back of your camper),
3) Whether your number is WET or DRY, and WITH or WITHOUT: GENERATOR and A/C, and whether the camper is full and ready for a camping trip or not. Just trying to make this easy. Report what you want, and the data you have.
4) Wet weight posted on the sticker back of your camper. It's ok if it’s a dry weight, just clarify.

Any thoughts on how to make the data more valuable to users is welcomed, however let's not make this too complicated.

I have a Lance 961 w/slide 2001. truck/camper 11,300 pretty well loaded but I know I've been more.
Wet weight says 3320 on the back my bet is that I'm around 3800 - 4000 lbs.
I only have a small dinette slide.
